Reference to the Ancient Church is an important aspect of Old Catholic
identity. This includes reference to particular doctrinal decisions of Ecumenical
Councils as well as to the conciliar ecclesiology that made these
decisions possible. Four different functions of the reference to the Ancient
Church are presented: self legitimation in a controversial context, common
ground in an ecumenical context, a source of reforms and ascertaining
one’s identity. Legitimating the Ancient Church as a normative source
for today’s theology is far from trivial. The ecumenical character of the
Ancient Church, its conciliar principle, the paradigmatic and fundamental
character of its decisions may serve as such legitimations.
